On 5/12, Questar III will be upgrading the EMPIRE file server - this upgrade will also change the name of the server from EMPIRE to QIII-EMPIRE. As a result, existing shortcuts and icons to folders on the server may need to be updated to reflect the new name.
- Find your shortcut. Depending on user preference, the shortcut may simply be named Empire, or may instead be named specific to the location that you work out of i.e. Health And Safety or Home School.
- Right click on the shortcut and select Properties.
- Change the Target location from \\empire (or \\empire.questar.org if that is what you see) to reflect the new server name by adding qiii- directly after the second backslash. If your Target location reflects the full path of the folder (\\empire\Department\Category), it should be changed to \\qiii-empire\Department\Category.
- Hit OK.
An animated guide is below.
If you access the server through the Quick Access sidebar (shown below), these unfortunately cannot be updated via the above method. Please contact the helpdesk for assistance.
